7 Links

7 links seemed like a perfect Friday post, no? If you haven't seen these posts floating around the blogisphere here's the story: there are 7 categories (almost like superlatives) that you choose for your blog posts. It's a fun way to reflect on your previous blog entries!

I'm going literal on this one. I think the most beautiful post on The Fix-Its was probably our vacation highlight photos from Greece. I was really proud to share some of our photos (as my photography skills improve) and I can't wait to share more!

Most Popular:

Our most popular post BY FAR is Our Backsplash is IN! Who knew so many of you were trying to install your own backsplashes? Similarly, thie most common reader e-mail question I get is about our backsplash.

Most Controversial:

This one did not suprise me. When I wrote about over-grown children in strollers people defended autistic and disabled kids. I wasn't saying, "Get out of your wheelchair, lazy bones!". Really.

Most Helpful:

I think people found the bathroom grime post helpful. Most helpful post ever? I'm not sure, but it definitely made my life better.

Post Whose Success Surprised Me:

Definitely my post about natural beauty. I just thought it would get lost in the shuffle, but for a while it was the most popular post on our blog! For a blog that's allegedly about our foibles in home ownership I was totally surprised.

Post I feel didn't get the attention it deserved:

This one was easy to choose, and makes sense. We're not all at the same place at the same time, right? While I felt like finding this post would have been the most helpful thing EVER!!! to me when I was in a slump I get why it didn't get a huge response.

Post I'm most proud of:

This one was hard to write. I'm proud I let myself reflect on Mr. Fix-It's Mom's last day while participating in the reverb10 writing challenge.
